ffl/PM A. Hav/Pff i Patented `luly 15V,y 1930 i and has special reference to portable realen-'v dars adapted to be carried in the pocket asis www Application meav July 15.19129.V ser'alNaz-'afzispia t i' This invention relates to portable calendars a watch or tobe worn ina manner in which a such calendars.

Y' A second important objectof thel present invention is to provide an improved gearing arrangement for calendars of this descrip-f tion. i

A. third important object of` the invention y is to provide animproved form. of portable annual calendar wherein arrangement is made for substituting one calendar strip for4 another by simple means requiring no tools.

A'fourthimportant object of the invention is to vprovide a calendar ofthis description having winding means movable into and out of operating position so that when in one position the calendar strip may be shifted and when in another position the winding means will be detached so that thefcalendar strip cannot be readily moved. l

l/Vith the above and other objects in viewas will be hereinafter apparent, the invention consists in general of certainnovel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying ldrawings and speciiically claimed. v j In the accompanying drawings like characters of referenceindicate like parts in the several views, and:

Figure 1 is a face view ofrone form of the invention adapted for use as a pocket watch. Figure 2 is a face view of a second vform of the invention adapted for use as a' wrist watch. Y l Figure 3 is an enlarged detail section taken on the longitudinal median plane of the de-y vice.

For

in thissleeve.A Obviously,in the rstposition `the sleeve andshaft will out the ends leo it being understood that the back, preferably, of the casing is so arranged like the back of an ordinary Watch, that it inaybeopened for v access to the interior. The casing may either 5- be of the form shown in Figure '1 or may,

as in Figure 2, be provided with loops 29v `for the reception of a wrist strap 30 and obviously the calendar may be used eitheralone on the Wrist of the wearer or aL Watch may lo be'vvorn on one side of the Wrist andthe c calendar on the other, a single strap 30fserv- Y ing to hold the two in position.`- n rlhere has thus been provided a simpleand eiiicient device of the kind described and vfor f the purpose specified. f fr Itis obvious that minor changes maybe made in the forni and construction-of the invention without departing fromrthe niajterial spiritthereof. It'isnot therefore, desired toV confine-v the. invention to thefexa'ct form herein shown and described", bntit is j desired :to include all such as properly come Within the scope claimed.

vI-Travingl thus 'described the invention, what is claiined as new, is: I I

n In a portable calendar, acasing, axpair of Winding shafts at opposite ends of said casing, gears on said shafts, a driving gear, a Winding stein carrying' lsaid driving gear, idler-gears vconnecting the drivinggear with the first Arnentioned gear, a Windingknob on saidsteln, saidlnob having longitudinal slidi ing-.connection'1ivith saidgsteni and. arranged in one position to'd'rive the stein and in asecond .positionf'to rotate freely thereon, said shafts each having a longitudinal slot therein, and Aa calendar tape having calendar indicia thereon and provided With tapered ends engaged in said slots.
